The Club at New Seabury, a 36-hole, luxurious golf and beach club on Cape Cod, is the newest crown jewel in the Concert Golf Partners portfolio of premium private clubs. With the addition of the 300-acre seaside club, famously described by legendary U.S. Open Champion Francis Ouimet as the “Pebble Beach of the East, Concert Golf’s family of clubs now stretches coast-to-coast from the Monterey Peninsula to Cape Cod.
Selected by The Club at New Seabury’s owner, IE Homes, Clubs & Resorts from many potential suitors, Concert Golf’s portfolio now features 39 upscale private clubs across America, adding one of the world’s finest beachfront country clubs. The purchase of The Club at New Seabury further elevates Concert Golf as a successor of choice for healthy, thriving, high-end private clubs.
Located on the Upper Cape in Mashpee, MA., and roughly 90 minutes outside of Boston, The Club at New Seabury features world-class resort amenities and spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean and Martha’s Vineyard – with nine holes running along the Nantucket Sound. This is Concert’s second premier club in New England – joining Blue Hill Country Club near Boston – and its first-ever oceanside property.
The purchase represents the largest acquisition ever for the Concert Golf portfolio.
Other upscale private clubs that have joined the Concert Golf portfolio over the past year include: The Club at SpurWing (near Boise, Idaho); The Georgia Club (near Athens, Georgia); Golf Club of the Everglades (in Naples, Florida); and TPC Jasna Polana (in Princeton, New Jersey).
“To add an oceanfront club of New Seabury’s caliber speaks to the premium level that Concert Golf Partners portfolio has ascended, and the trust home developers, private owners and club members put into our commitment to annually reinvest capital into our family of premier private clubs,” said Concert Golf Partners Senior Vice President Jordan Peace. “We’re honored that the IE Homes, Clubs and Resort’s team, led by Co-CEO Chris Card, selected Concert Golf to be their successors at this one-of-a-kind flagship property on Cape Cod. This is another powerful example of how Concert pursues the country’s best private clubs.”
The Club at New Seabury employs an elite staff of over 500 people during the peak of season, who are joining the Concert Golf Partners team. This reflects an ongoing commitment to “The Concert Way,” an innovative, multi-step continuity program that Concert Golf pioneered and perfected over the years to welcome clubs into our network, and facilitate a smooth transition for members, staff and the previous ownership.
“Any time there is a significant change at the club where you’ve been a member for years – one that is deeply part of you and your family’s life – you naturally take time to assess and discover more,” said The Club at New Seabury Board of Managers President, Ralph Lepore. “As we have come to know the team at Concert Golf, we have become quite confident in Concert’s long-term vision for the Club, and we anticipate that the Members of New Seabury will share our confidence, as they learn more about Concert and have had the opportunity to work with them going forward.
“We’re particularly excited about the capital improvements they plan to make annually to increase the value and enjoyment of the Club for our loyal membership. We look forward to a mutually beneficial relationship with Concert Golf over the next many years.”
Membership at New Seabury provides for a Cape Cod vacation lifestyle, with views of Martha’s Vineyard. The club features two championship golf courses – the Ocean Course and Dunes Course – designed by William Mitchell in 1962, and later renovated by Rees Jones, Greg Muirhead, and most recently, Bruce Hepner. The marquee, par-72, Ocean Course delivers a rating of 75.7, and a slope of 136 across 7,131 yards, with nine holes that trace the seashore.
